Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Correct answer: Inside
Explanation:
The word "inside" indicates location within an enclosed space, which matches the meaning of the sentence that rats were in the drawer.
"Outside" means not in the drawer, so it contradicts the intended meaning.
"Backside" refers to the rear part of something and is not used to express being inside an enclosed object like a drawer.
"None of these" is incorrect because a suitable word ("inside") is provided among the choices.
Complete corrected sentence: Keep the drawer clean; there were rats inside the drawer last night.
